I'm sorry to report I just tried a recent build of Freedink 1.08 that I compiled myself from upstream source a while back, and the flicker is identical.
The flickering occurs in a band accross the width of the screen and the area of effect oscillates vertically. It also migrates downward overall until it gets near the bottom and starts off again near the top, affecting maybe 1/4 or 1/5 of the screen at a time. It does not effect most parts of the background --grass, most rocks, dirt, blood spatter, pig feed--, but it does effect all charactes, fencing, tall grass patches, some rocks.
I should rebuild Freedink to make absolutely sure it is from upstream and using SDL2, but I feel fairly certain this is it.
P.S. I've been running other SDL-based games in framebuffer that don't exhibit such a graphical glitch.
